I've lost 80 lbs 4 years ago after having gastric sleeve surgery. I'd like advice on if I would be a good candidate for a TT & Bra line back lift. I'm 5'7", 170 lbs.
Answer: Yes tummy tuck and upper back lift is a great combo Hello and thank you for your question. Congratulations on your weight loss! To answer your question, both surgeries will give you a significant difference in the appearance of excess fat and loose skin. The abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) will leave you with a flatter and tighter abdominal area. This is done by removing excess fat with liposuction, tightening your abdominal wall, and removing all the excess skin. Your incision should be low, that way it can be covered by your bathing suit or underwear. The back lift is truly a great procedure. Your incision is along the bra line and can be hidden in a bra or bathing suit. This surgery will help lift the back to look tighter while also removing fat and skin. These are two great procedures which will give you long lasting and amazing results. Please consult with a board certified plastic surgeon for an in person consultation. Best of luck.

Answer: Considering options Congratulations on your impressive weight loss! From the photos it appears you are a candidate for a tummy tuck with liposuction for contouring to address excess fat and skin as well as correct abdominal wall laxity. The result will be a smoother tighter tummy. For the back a bra line lift with liposuction will sculpt your curves and remove excess skin giving a smoother back. The incision will be placed horizontally approximately along where the bra line is.

Answer: Back lift combined with The Bellesoma No Vertical Scar Breast Lift Yes, a tummy tuck and bra line back lift would help you achieve your goal. However, your breasts need to be addressed as well. The technique I recommend for your breasts is The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation and the ability to breast feed are maintained. The breast lift incision is continued onto the back. After completing the breast and back lift, you can then undergo the tummy tuck. If you are not planning future pregnancies, I recommend abdominoplasty with mesh reinforcement. The mesh creates a more hourglass figure by compressing the abdominal wall resulting in early satiety and helps maintain a reduced weight. Patients who have undergone bypass surgery frequently rebound after surgery and gain weight. The mesh may help prevent rebound.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.
